OVM

0

Overflow mode flag

Overflow mode flag

The overflow mode flag affects only integer operations.

If OVM = 0, the overflow mode is turned off and integer
results that overflow are treated in no special way.

If OVM = 1, integer results overflowing in the positive
direction are set to the most positive, 2s-complement
number (7FFF FFFFh), and integer results overflowing
in the negative direction are set to the most negative
32-bit, 2s-complement number (8000 0000h).

RM

0

Repeat mode flag

Repeat mode flag

If RM = 1, the PC is modified in either the repeat-block
or repeat-single mode.

CE

0

Cache enable

CE enables or disables the instruction cache.

Set CE = 1 to enable the cache, allowing the cache to
be used according to the least recently used (LRU)
stack manipulation.

Set CE = 0 to disable the cache, preventing cache
updates or modifications (no cache fetches can be
made). Cache clearing (CC = 1) is allowed when
CE = 0.

Note:

If a load of the status register occurs simultaneously with a CPU interrupt pulse trying to reset GIE, GIE is reset.
